There's been an alarming number of websites featuring a horrendous new type of advert recently.
I think they're Flash or Java, but I'm not sure.
Basically, they pop up over the top of whatever web page you're viewing - but not in their own window, just as a free-floating image. They usually start out large, blocking your view of the page you're *trying* to look at, before reducing and tucking themselves away.
And there's sweet FA you can do about them, for at least a few seconds - until they eventually give you a little 'close' box.
Pop-up windows are one thing - you can close them instantly. But these things are a goddamn nuisance.
If you've been fortunate enough to avoid them so far, but are curious about them (you weirdo), have a look at one of these sites - they're just a couple I've been to recently that feature this plague...

You may need to refresh a few times, as they have random adverts. Some are simple pop-ups, but it shouldn't be long before you encounter one of these monstrosities.
Surely it can't be long before there's some kind of control/regulations brough in to counter this crap?

Yep, got all that pop up rubbish.
Usually goes right over the button you want to press on or the bit your trying to read. Really annnoying. Also really annoying is how you can't find the button to close the thing and the sounds it makes which are unwanted and ruin the music you are listening to and how some of them follow you...I could go on.

ive got this program that block out annoying messages like that, and when you download thigs it stops any messages being left on your pc...
i think it is called Banner blocker or advert blocker or somthing like that but you can configure it to block out what you want...
you should look in to buying it...
